Man Jailed For Upskirting 36 Women At Sydney Train Station

A man who upskirted dozens of women as they rode escalators at Sydney's Central train station has been jailed for at least 12 months.

Karl Edwin Skow, 59, faced Downing Centre Local Court yesterday, where a magistrate sentenced him to the maximum 18 months in prison for his "sly, predatory acts", The Sydney Morning Herald reports.

Police arrested Skow late last year after a woman confronted him at the station. Court documents said the woman felt the man's phone brush up against her thighs, and when she turned around to look, she saw the screen was pointed up between her legs.

A search of Skow's home in Barden Ridge in Sydney's south found intimate images of around 36 women captured between May and November 2017.

He mostly recorded women as the travelled on escalators in the peak hour rush between 8.30am and 9.30am.
